george washington, william henry heir harrison, and camela. when the civil war came around, he tried to give his largest steam ship to the union navy. the secretary said no, nobody thoughts war was going to last that long. he wasn't going to have the expensive ship. it was going to be a white elephant for the navy. so he ended up being forced, actually, against his will to it lease it for very large sums to the war department. complicated story that will have the free market people shaking their heads. because it really was a crazy result. but from the mermac sinks all of the human ships. of course we all know the monitor came down. battles twisted in still. the standard version is the end of the story. but at that point, there was only one ship that would handle. if they had a simple mechanical break down, it would have been helpful. >> yeah. so secretary of war stanton said can you help. so he rushed to washington. he met with lincoln himself. and. and lincoln said what can you do. probably what'll happen is they won't risk the mermac agains
